The new phenomenon that is Ke$ha, with “Tik Tok” blowing up the charts made me think of another white female rapper from the UK, Uffie (pronounced Uf-Fee). I’m not saying that one is copying the other but their rap styles are too similar for that to not be the case. If you’re familiar with the electro duo, Justice ( D.A.N.C.E.) they collaborated with Uffie on the party banger, The Party. Personally I think Uffie does it better but Ke$ha has more muscle behind her music hence her single being everywhere. Uffie, on the other hand, didn’t hit it big in the U.S. and is obscure to most Americans save for a few. Uffie’s UK presence is significant and more likable than Lady Sovereign (no comment). In a music industry where a lot of artists are the same or are carving out the same niche, we do have the choice to decide who’s doing a better job. After all, Uffie was first.
LA weekly pits them against each other and they are quite obviously Team Uffie.
Who will you choose?
white girl hipster rap is on the move!

You basically summerized this article and passed it off as your own. Not okay.

Well thanks for pointing me towards that Complex article (I’m a fan myself) but our article was posted first (Complex’s article was posted on Jan. 12th vs our Jan. 11th) plussssss the Uffie vs. Ke$ha topic is not an original idea by Complex. Several other blogs put in their two cents and we simply make ours. No summarizing necessary. Thanks for reading though!
